In addition to debuting a new TV Spot during the MTV Movie Awards, Paramount sent stars Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto to present an award – and they came to the stage in a very dramatic fashion. We have pictures from the show and videos of them presenting. Plus red carpet photos as well.

Pine, Quinto and Saldana’s Star Trek Entry To MTV Movie Awards

Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto made a dramatic appearance at The MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night. They were introduced through a giant sized version of the Star Trek Into Darkness teaser poster (see photos below). Watch the clip via MTV (sorry USA only).

Zachary Quinto looks disturbingly like Simon Cowell in that suit if you just glance at a photo really quickly. lol

Not feeling Chris’ highwater pants and lack of socks but he looked great otherwise. The scruff suits him. Zoe’s skirt is horrible but she’s lovely from the waist up. It looks like they had fun so that’s what counts the most. Very fun entrance! The fire was a nice touch.

Definitely like the Gorn on the red carpet. I wonder if he will be this movie’s “Kingon” and just show up randomly at the premiere. It’s a fun way to have a Star Trek-related character in costume on the red carpet and boost sales for the game at the same time.

Ironic the fans of the completely un-Gorn looking new Gorn keep saying they couldn’t have used the design of the old Gorn because it’s too “fake” looking, but they keep using the old school Gorn costume to promote the video game!

I quite liked the Star Trek presentation. I liked the tie in with the poster, Zoe Saldana’s LLAP and the actual speeches they all made. Zachary Quinto’s pause before uttering the word ‘logical’ cracked me up.

Also, I’m glad there’s a photo here of the Gorn. I watched (OK, I fast forwarded through) the MTV red carpet and the actual MTV awards as well. I missed seeing the Gorn. Our channel probably went to an ad at that point. Also didn’t see the STID TV Spot, but I was expecting that this time. The Superbowl STID trailer wasn’t shown downunder either.

I must be getting old. Quite a few of the guys I saw were wearing suits I found quite unappealing. Pine’s casual look was quite OK, but I’d have liked longer trouser legs. Yep, I must be getting old…

Oh, oh – I almost forgot – I was pleasantly surprised to see the Aussie flag. I hadn’t realised the MC was an Australian before seeing the show. Yep, I must really be getting old…

Yay an Australian hosted the awards. Im not to sure what event they have dressed for its looks Zoe and Zachery are qoing to Barbecue wedding reception in someones backyard and Criss pine looks like hes on his way to answer the front door at home. Not being in the US I havent seen the video yet maybe its just the photo.

They are not presenting this as a Star Trek movie. It feels like the incidental Star Trek movie. Out of all the backdrops they could have picked, it is one of destruction. It does not compute. Who is the movie about? Who is the central character? Why should we care? That being said, I saw the preview and I liked it. But I went in knowing who the characters were. When I watch the trailers with non-trekkies, the reaction is always the same – “Who cares”.

Anthony, did you see the clip that appeared right before Pine and the rest were announced? It really looked like the Enterprise was crashing into Earth. You stated before that the clip of the starship splashing into the water was not Enterprise, but what was shown last night sure made it look like it.

Well, Spielberg’s animations were designed and drawn by hired artists, and in that regard, the Velociraptors are Steven’s intellectual property, and if digital forensics can substantially verify your contentions, someone’s liable to face a legal drubbing.

Since we now know feathers to be quite common among dinos and those velociraptors were incorrectly rendered featherless in JP, I doubt their living ancestors would have a feathered leg to stand on in court. ;-)

Saldana lives in LA. Urban lives in NZ. So of course Zoe is more available for publicity. Hey, it’s not like Urban didn’t give us that awesome awesome McCoy Surfing NZ Video!

Gorn: There are many races in the Gorn Confederation, including those from the Gorn Hegemony homeworlds. The Raptory Gorn probably look at the Old Luggy Gorn and laugh… prosthetics and silver lenses in the eyes? Why do all races have to look like gornoids? Can’t we have some real aliens, like those pinkskinned ones we saw on Cestus III? They were very tasty with carrots, too.

—Quinto is a great actor. But man, does he need to go on one of those makeover shows concerning his wardrobe and hair. Poor guy!—

I’m forced to agree.

We’re sounding like Joan & Melissa Rivers here, which is about as shameful a thing as there is, but these three actors all made some…shall we say… “interesting” choices in their presentations that evening.

I think Zach Quinto is an amazing actor and an amazing person, as well, from what I’ve read in interviews, but that suit is hurting my eyes. The color, yes, is awful, but mostly its the fact that… it doesn’t look like it fits him.

Agreed that Chris looks too casually dressed.

Zoe, however, looks wonderful. I love her outfit.

And wow, what a set design. Kudos to the creative minds who worked to put that together.

And Chris Pine as soon as he returned from Coachella apparently chose the first outfit his stylists offered to him … something basic, nothing cerebral or analytical ……………………………… ;-)
………………………………. after all this was a show on MTV

33, Drapera, I read it out loud a la Rickman and laughed SO HARD! Thank you for that! : )))

48, Jack, It’s about time they DID some promotion though, innit? ; )

OMG the tragically hip!

First, Chris Pine – the ONLY thing wrong with his clothing was the “new length” of trousers – we used to call those “high-waters” … otherwise he looked very nice, if casual. Cool beard!

Zachary, Zachary, Zachary – I adore the man, but my goodness I think he got hit by the dorky hipster truck. The suit doesn’t fit, and the high-waters are just tragic. Do designers now purposely install zippers crooked or something? And why doesn’t the jacket … oh nevermind, now let’s get to the hair … omg no, let’s not . . . . Deeah, can we tawk?

Zoe, as always, looked lovely, incredibly so, although her skirt was a bit … puzzling. It couldn’t decide if it wanted to be floral or lacy.

And guys I’m sure Karl Urban would have been happy to be there but is multi-tasking: filming television in Canada and commuting home to New Zealand.

I thought Pine looked divine. The new [unfortunate] trouser length for men is short like that. Pine and Quinto both have lovely long legs, but they look sorta … truncated in those dumb trousers. But of the two, CP looked better! The blue of his shirt is great with his eyes and complexion.

Ahh, Zachary. I already picked his suit apart above! He got this same bizarre haircut after ST 2009, oddly in time for the publicity tour. I don’t object so much to the “product” in his hair [it’s usually gel], but to the “whitewalls” above his ears. My goodness, that is one of the ugliest haircuts … I sometimes think ZQ does everything he can to look *other* than gorgeous. Go figure!

It is likely that I am totally wrong here, but I wonder if Zach does not want to appeal to women because he is gay. He cannot help that he is a good looking guy who many women find very attractive and the same applies to Chris Pine. However, being gay sort of means that he cannot “reciprocate” (if you see what I mean) in a way that a heterosexual Chris Pine can.

It is not that either can (or perhaps even would) reciprocate, but nevertheless…do you, at least, see what I am getting at here?
